Andover, Revere, and Wakefield are three girls’ basketball programs that know how to win, and how to ­rebound when the wins don’t come so easily.

Andover won state Division 1 titles from 2010 to 2012, going 97-9 while becoming the only girls’ team to three-peat in Massachusetts history. Then in 2015, the Golden Knights went 18-2 and won the North Division 1 title.

But after losing 1,000-point scorer Alyssa Casey before the season even started, last year was a bust. The Golden Knights finished 5-16.

Wakefield was 9-11 last year, but has gotten off to an 11-4 start this season, second in the Middlesex League Freedom Division.

Revere is looking to take the next step in the postseason after losing to Woburn, 58-46, in last year’s North Division 1 final. The Patriots are off to a 14-0 start this season.

When Casey went down with a foot injury that kept her sidelined for her entire junior campaign, Andover coach E.J. Perry knew his team was in for a bumpy ride.

“We built the offense around [Casey],’’ said Perry. “So when she went out a week before the season started, we had to virtually redo everything.’’

With Casey back, things were looking up this season before 6-foot senior Jillian Webber, the Knights’ leading scorer in 2015-16 (19.6 ppg), suffered a shoulder injury and missed the first nine games.

Andover went up by as much as 18 points against Newton South in its season opener, but couldn’t hold on in a 52-43 loss.

“That game was a wakeup call for us,’’ said Casey. “We knew we were a force to be reckoned with, but it was going to take our entire team.’’

Since that loss, the Golden Knights have rattled off 15 straight wins and sit atop the Merrimack Valley League Large Division.

Along with Casey and a healthy Webber, who average a combined 35.4 points per game, sophomore Gia Bramanti leads the team in 3-point makes (21) and sophomore Taylor Landry leads in assists per game (3.8) and is second in steals (1.7).

“The biggest thing that we learned from last season was being able to adapt to adversity,’’ said Perry. “It forced a lot of our players to step up.’’

Freshman Shea Krekorian, who has started since Christmas, has impressed on the defensive side of the ball.

“She has some of the best defensive instincts on the team,’’ said Webber. “She’s played a huge role in us being able to press a lot more this season.’’

Wakefield’s turnaround is all about its depth. In a Feb. 3 victory over Stoneham, all 11 players on the Warriors’ roster scored.

“It’s a total team effort out there,’’ said senior captain Emma Butler. “It’s never about just one player.’’

Meg O’Connell, in her ninth season as head coach, said the Warriors seem to be much more connected and energized on the defensive end this season.

“We’re really trying as a team to work on anticipation, sprinting when the ball is in the air on our close-outs, and being aggressive in our rotations,’’ she said.

In Diana Finn’s final season as head coach last year, Revere went 20-6. But the loss in the sectional final has provided plenty of motivation under first-year coach Lianne O’Hara.

“Our communication on defense has improved immensely,’’ said senior cocaptain Sam Woodman. “We’re talking all the time on defense. In practice, we’re working on talking to each when getting over screens, on help defense, and boxing out.’’

Revere has switched to a more aggressive man-to-man defense that is paying off.

“I really stress the responsibilities of man defense,’’ O’Hara said. “Team defense, help defense, and quick rotating are hugely important in our team’s success on that side of the ball.’’

At the center of it all is 6-2 junior Valentina Pepic, who’s averaging 20 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. She’s handled much of the team’s scoring load, but is also tasked with being the team’s primary rim protector.

“She’s an incredible offensive player,’’ O’Hara said. “But she does a lot on defense as well. She holds down the fort and grabs a ton of rebounds.’’
